College & Career Readiness

What does college and career readiness mean in the SRVUSD?

All SRVUSD students should graduate from high school ready for college, career, and life. They should be prepared to pursue the future of their choosing.

Students should possess the skills and dispositions necessary to be successful in charting their postsecondary path. Many of the skills a SRVUSD graduate has are obtained through academics. The skills most demanded by colleges and employers are, by design, inherent in rigorous K–12 expectations – the ability of students to communicate effectively (both verbally and in written communications), to solve problems, to think critically and develop informed arguments, and to analyze information and data. Collaborating, communicating and presenting information, and using research to make informed judgments are among the critical skills that impact success.

Students should have successfully participated in postsecondary opportunities through advanced coursework (Advanced Placement, CollegeConnect, dual enrollment) as well as career and technical education, work-based learning, and other opportunities for exploring interests, aptitudes, and goals so that graduates can successfully navigate pathways that connect education and employment after high school.
